This week's Big Gainer of the week award goes to Caroline Garcia. After her strong performance last week, she received a bye to round 2 of this tournament, and then went on to win the title here, by defeating Elina Svitolina, Petra Kvitova and the new ELO #1 Simona Halep in the final. This title gave Caroline 49 ELO rating points, and she moves up 7 places in my rankings to #6.

The Upset player of the week this week is Sloane Stephens. She was the 15th seed at Beijing, but she lost her 1st round match. This loss cost Sloane 16 ELO rating points, and she moves down 4 places in my rankings to #12.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Sorana Cirstea, Christina McHale, Andrea Petkovic, Lara Arruabarrena and Monica Niculescu.
